Earl And Fay Corbly

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This book is both a photo book and a scrapbook of the lives of Earl and Fay Corbly. It was initially intended only for their descendants so that they could learn about their ancestors and where part of their roots lay. During the process of melding their photos with their written descriptions of singular events in their lives, the book became the history of two people who lived through World War I, the Dust Bowl, the Great Depression, World War II, the Cold War, and the wars of Korea and Vietnam. They began their married life just before the Great Depression of the late 1920s. Both came from Oklahoma farming families who struggled to make ends meet during those years. All of their written records have been included in this book.

The Families Of Elizabeth Betsy Tyler Corbly

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

Elizabeth 'Betsy' Tyler was an unknown person in the history of western colonial Pennsylvania. She has been the subject of innumerable stories most of which describe only an event, not Betsy. Her story was first published on August 10, 1785 in the American Daily Advertiser, a Philadelphia daily newspaper owned by Messrs Dunlap and Claypoole. Many other newspapers of the day picked up the story and reprinted it. Her name was not mentioned in any of them. Betsy and John had five children, but only one lived to maturity. In 1782 Betsy and three of her children were massacred by an Indian scalping party. Another daughter died from her wounds later. Her first child, Delilah, was all that was left of Betsy's life. Nothing has been written about Betsy or Delilah until now. This book tells the stories of Betsy's ancestors, her parents and siblings, her life with the preacher John Corbly, and the life and descendants of Delilah, her only surviving child and legacy.

Pennsylvania Land Wars With Connecticut And Virginia

eBook Download

BOOK EXCERPT:

This is a book about the land wars Pennsylvania found itself embroiled in during the latter half of the 18th Century. The wars stemmed from the ambiguous Charters that established the the Colonies of Pennsylvania, Connecticut, and Virginia. Charles II created the conflict between Pennsylvania and Connecticut by the overlapping of the boundaries of the land he granted to each colony. Similarly, the land granted to Pennsylvania was contested by Virginia. But Virginia could have contested nearly any Colony's land grant. Virginia's grant from James I included most of present-day United States, northern Mexico, and most of western Canada. These armed conflicts were settled only by the first Congress established by the newly formed United States Constitution in 1787, when it ruled in Pennsylvania's favor.This book is purchased at the lowest cost through Lulu.com.

When an accurate survey of his land could be established by the Mason-Dixon survey, each landowner rushed to the County Land Office to obtain a surveyed plat of his claim. Those surveyed plats are listed in this book along with the person to whom they later sold their land.
